I'm guessing most of you are nodding along with me.... So I'm psyched to share these chambray shorts I made with Make it Perfect's Essential Shorts pattern-they are awesome! I love how comfy … [Read more...]

I'm so psyched about these tees I have to share with you today. For one, they're awesome (more oh so much more on that later), for (two?)I got to try my friend Adrianna's new pattern, the Union St. Tee, and for three, I made a v neck tee! (confession, I had never done that before now.) I didn't really care for v-neck tees until I read that … [Read more...]

I just got back from a whirlwind trip up to visit Kristin in Portland! (if you were following along on Instagram you got a sneak peek of a combined photo shoot we did with the girls!! prepare for cuteness!) We had so much fun-and ate way too much.

It seems that the Nessie and Go To Leggings are my favorite pairing of late. especially for kids-so comfy and easy to wear. I made this set for a friend, so no pics on a kiddo...sad day right? The tee I made with LACE sleeves and used it for the binding and pocket as well. You might recognize the lace from this dress, and you might recognize … [Read more...]

We can never have too many Nessie tops around this house-I love it as a basic tee, and with the variations too! After Amanda from Kitschycoo was sweet enough to send me some of the incredible fabric from her shop, I knew it was destined for greatness. Ok, cheesy yes, but seriously. This fabric deserved to be showcased! DEERS! This fabric … [Read more...]
KCW: solid bateau tops
April 10, 2014 By 6 Comments
This is one of those projects I thought would be a good idea. "just whip up some solid colored tees to build up Sadie's wardrobe" I said to myself. Self, next time just buy solid tees. Seriously these actually weren't too bad, but since I wasn't customizing them or anything, they were a bit boring to sew up...just repetitive I guess. But … [Read more...]

I'm slightly addicted to the Skater Dress pattern by KitschyCoo. I've made, I think, about 4 of them, but I have so many fabric variations floating around in my head. Like one I wanna make for Sadie asap. Hope I can get to that soon! Anyways...I just started picturing one on Ava and had to sew one up the other afternoon. I made a 18mo/2T size, … [Read more...]
